But how do those laws apply here? If people are sending their msgs from
abroad, are they supposed to comply with the American law?

Best wishes,

In short, No, unless you have the permission of the
copyright holder. There is such a thing as "fair use". In
this context, that would mean quoting a short passage.

All NY Times articles are available online - usually only
the day they are in the paper, but some articles are carried
online a little longer. And you can e-mail links to
people. You can also e-mail articles, but this doesn't work
when you try to e-mail a whole article to a mailing list
like ours (I know because I've tried and failed). I assume
it will work for e-mailing a link.
